Caution regarding the power supply
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the
surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, cameras connected to it, or the metal portions of other
objects, such as VCRs. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are
concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a
slight noise may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method,
contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Switching Between A Bus and B Bus
Input sources are selected and switched between the A Bus and the B Bus. The unit has eight input selectors for each Bus,
and you choose the input video for each bus before you perform the transition.
With the LVS-800, you can switch between A Bus and B Bus in three different modes. Operation of each of these modes is
described below.
•A/B mode
•PGM-PST mode This lets you check the preview picture before switching and perform the transition using the [AUTO] button.
•LVS mode This lets you perform switching directly, using only the input selector buttons.
This performs switching using the video fader or the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX.
The results of these operations are output from the A/B MIX OUT connectors. If you want to output the results from the
PGM OUT connectors as well, make the settings described below.
•At [PGM OUTPUT FADE], switch off the [AUTO] button.
•At DSK, for [BACKGROUND], select [A/B MIX].
•Switch off the [AUTO] button for DSK.
Switching the Picture in the A/B Mode
Switching the Picture Using the Video Fader
1. Choose the A Bus and B Bus video.
Select the channels of the video input to A Bus and B Bus. Selecting an input channel makes the LED for the button light
up. For information about what the color of the LED means, see the following page.
fig.AB-source-select.eps
2. Choose the type of transition (transition effect).
If you want to apply a transition effect, use a [TRANSITION] button to choose [MIX], [WIPE1], or [WIPE2]. To apply no

Move the video fader. Moving it toward the back of the unit makes more of the picture on A Bus appear, and moving
toward the front displays more B Bus picture.
*If you selected [CUT] in step 2, the picture is switched between A Bus and B Bus at the middle position of the video fader.
*When the same input channel has been selected for A Bus and B Bus, moving the video fader does not affect the output.
fig.move-Tbar.eps
When the video fader has not been moved all the way to the A Bus or B Bus side, changing the input channel for the opposite bus may
cause noise on the output picture. When changing the input channel for the bus on the side opposite the bus displayed, first make sure
that the video fader has been moved all the way to the end of the stroke.

Switching Between A Bus and B Bus
Switching Using the AUTO Button
You can also perform switching simply by pressing the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX, without using the video fader. The
video fader itself does not move, but movement between A and B is performed automatically. The location of the light on
the TRANSITION indicator shows the movement between A and B.
1. Choose the type of transition (transition effect).
If you want to apply a transition effect, use a [TRANSITION] button to choose [MIX], [WIPE1], or [WIPE2]. To apply no
effect, choose [CUT].

Switching the Picture Directly (LVS Mode)
When no previewing is needed, you can perform switching by using only the input selector buttons. This lets you execute
a transition more easily and rapidly. You can do this in the LVS mode.
In the LVS mode, B Bus is handled as main video and A Bus is handled as insert video. Moving the video fader to the A Bus side
superimposes the insert video selected on A Bus over the main video of B Bus. P in P (Picture-in-Picture) settings are also enabled.
The video selected for A Bus is output from the A/B MIX PVW connector.
1. Move the video fader to the B Bus side.
2. Select the input channel.
Press the B Bus input selector buttons in succession to switch the video.
*The transition-effect and transition-time settings remain in effect for switching performed in this way. Also note that no channel can be selected for
A Bus while a transition effect is being applied.
fig.select-PGM.eps
When the LVS mode is enabled and the video fader is set to A Bus, using the B Bus input selector buttons to switch the channel makes
the output video change in the sequence shown below.
1.Selected channel on A Bus
2.Previously selected channel on B Bus
3.Newly selected channel on B Bus
*At step 2, the picture is displayed briefly, then immediately changes to 3.
*Between 1 and 2, the transition-effect and transition-time settings have no effect.
*between 2 and 3, the transition-effect and transition-time settings are applied.
Let’s say that you have selected input 2 on A Bus and input 1 on B Bus, and the video fader is set to A Bus. In this state,
the video for input 2 is output. If you now change the selected channel for B Bus from input 1 to input 3, the output
picture changes in the sequence shown below.

Using the Downstream Keyer (DSK)
What’s a Downstream Keyer (DSK)?
A Downstream Keyer (DSK) allows you to superimpose text or graphics over background video. Since the text of
graphics appear “downstream“ from your A/B mix, you can freely switch or mix various video sources behind your
“keyed“ text or graphics.
Generally, elements such as logos and text are composited using DSK. This feature makes it possible to switch the
background video or actuate picture-in-picture while displaying same logos or text in the foreground.
The results of DSK composition are output only via the PGM OUT connectors. No DSK output comes from the A/B MIX OUT
connectors.

Trying Out DSK Composition
1. Choose the background picture.
Use the three BACKGROUND buttons to choose the background video. If you want to use the results of the A/B mix as
the background, press the [A/B MIX] button to make it light up. If you want to use source video directly from channel 6
or channel 7 as the background, choose [6] or [7/PC1].
fig.background-select.eps
2. Choose the foreground picture.
Use the three FOREGROUND buttons to choose the video you want to composite and display on the foreground. If you
want to composite a logo, text, or other such element from a computer, press either the [7/PC1] button or the [8/PC2]
button to make it light up. The picture you selected using FOREGROUND is output to the preview monitor via the PGM
PVW connector.
Before you perform composition, check whether the picture from the computer is being output correctly to the LVS-800. Send the output
from channels 7 or 8 to a monitor or projector, and check the picture. The output might not look correct if the proper settings have not
been made on the computer.

3. Decide how the keyed material appears and disappears.
Decide how the picture you selected in step 2 to appears and disappears. Select either [CUT] or [MIX]. Selecting [CUT]
makes the foreground picture appear and disappear instantly. Selecting [MIX] makes it fade in and fade out. You can set

Troubleshooting
Power Supply
The power does not come on when the POWER switch is turned on.
•
Is an AC adapter other than the included one being connected? Use the included AC adapter (Roland PSB-7U).
Video Output
No picture is output.
•
If the PGM OUTPUT FADE button illuminated? No video is output while the output fade button is lighted.
•
Are the selections for the input channels correct? When selecting the input for A Bus or B Bus, selecting a channel that has no input signal
results in no picture being output.
•
Is any signal being output from the connected camera or playback device? Check the source monitor connected to a MONITOR OUT
connector.
The picture is corrupt.
•
•
•
•
•
Is the selection of NTSC or PAL correct?
The signal from the camera or other source device may be below the threshold value. Go to the “Utility” menu and try adjusting the “Video
Sync Threshold” setting.
A weak incoming video signal can cause PGM output to be black-and-white or distorted. Make sure your video source devices and cabling
are providing adequate video signal.
Is a moving image being input from a computer? Flicker or skew may occur in moving images input from a computer. This is called tearing,
and does not indicate an equipment malfunction.
Was the input channel for one bus changed while the video fader was at a position short of fully moved to the opposite end? When you’re
switching the input channel for the bus other than the one displayed, first move the video fader all the way to the end of its stroke.
Operating the video fader does not change the picture.
•
•
•
Is the same input channel selected for A Bus and B Bus? If the same input channel has been selected, operating the video fader does not
change the output picture.
Is the operation mode set to the PGM-PST mode? In this mode, only button operations can be used to change the picture. Operating the video
fader has no effect.
The video fader might not be calibrated correctly. To perform calibration, go to the “Utility” menu and execute “Video Fader Calibrate” (A
and B). Move the control all the way to the A Bus end and execute “Video Fader Calibrate A,” then move it all the way to the B Bus end and
execute “Video Fader Calibrate B.”
DSK
Logos or text from a computer are not displayed.
•
Is the video output from the computer in a format that the LVS-800 does not support? Change the settings on the computer to enable output
in a supported format.
•
•
Is the input from the computer selected as the FOREGROUND picture? No key composition is applied to the BACKGROUND picture.
Is KEY LEVEL for DSK set at MAX? Turning the dial all the way to MAX makes the picture set as FOREGROUND disappear from view.
Composition with the background picture does not look correct.
•
Has the color to use for key composition been set correctly? By default, black is used for composition. Inputting a background image of a
color other than black results in incorrect compositing with the background picture. Go to the “DSK Setup” menu and use “DSK Key Mode”
to change the color to use for key composition.

Troubleshooting
Others
Menu settings are not saved.
•
Was the power turned off before you quit the menu display? The values of menu settings are saved in internal memory when you exit the
menu. To save the values of settings after making any changes, first quit the menu display before you switch off the power.
Settings cannot be saved to a PANEL PRESET.
•
Do the controls allow their states to be saved? For some controls, saving the current state is not possible.
Was the button used as the destination for saving held depressed until all PANEL PRESET buttons started to flash? Holding down the button
for several seconds makes the buttons flash and saves the settings in internal memory, but the values are not saved until the buttons flash.
•
